My 1500th post was in appreciation
To be able to appreciate the actions of myself and others in MaleSurvivor is a personal joy. MS is a noble cause, and it is gaining momentum with the uncovering of abuse scandals in all corners of the globe. More than the military, religious, academic and residential situations being exposed for the abuse and tacit approval of abuse through non-disclosure, our organization is on the leading edge of recovery. Our perview entails not only reporting the abuse scandals, but itemizes the different abuse conditions and supports open communication with resolution and recovery from the same. MS is also about getting professionals together to raise awareness for techniques and therapies to help heal the abused and those collaterally affected by abuse.

In my time here, twenty three months, I have shared pain, frustration, rage and sorrow. I have focused on self loathing, lack of confidence and isolation. I have hated the perpetrators and their accomplice's. I have dwelt on the unfairness of it all, and have been overwhelmed, fraught with dread at the time I would have to stand and face reality. Today is that day. Unencumbered by the majority of the abuse controls and lessons that taught me the need to take shame and failure to manic levels, I can embrace the world. I can begin a task, enjoy the details until the job is finished, and you know.., being in the moment and taking the challenges head on is very satisfying. It is getting easier to be more present.

That is why I am writing this progress post. In looking at my 1500th post, I find I am writing in appreciation for the work of another for my benefit. As I look at the posts I have written of late, I find a delicate balance of support and firmness that keeps me balanced with appropriate boundaries and healthy reaching out. The majority of my posts are about others, and while I still need support from my brothers and sisters here in MS, I really feel the appreciation as a stable entity in my life.

Peace, contentment, appreciation, balance, these are my companions more often than not. There is more good things to come, I am stronger now than I have ever been, and I have hope in the future. My 2000th post should be most interesting, the hopeful, brimming vessel that is me is overwhelmed with joyful anticipation.
